I've been asked to give three presentations today and tomorrow, and I think the best contribution I can make is to share our practical experience from Berzin Archives on how to deal with organizing these topics – multi-language projects, terminology, and cooperation among translators – since perhaps our experience can suggest organizational methods applicable to this larger project that we are undertaking here. Also, I'm really not familiar with what's available in Polish or Portuguese, and so on, so I can't really report on that, let alone Arabic or Urdu. Our online project can perhaps offer a model, since I feel that the most appropriate media for the Tengyur project is online, but supplemented with printed versions as well. Also, I have to apologize for not having any PowerPoint material here to supplement my talks, because my being able to attend this conference was uncertain up until the last minute and so I had no time to prepare them.<br /><br /> In any case, today I'd like to speak about dealing with multi-language translations and how to coordinate them. Nowadays we are working actively with ten languages. We have nine of them already online: English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Polish, Arabic, and Urdu. And the tenth one, Chinese, we hope to be able to get that online this year.<br /><br /> Now how do you coordinate and try to bring some order into this possible chaos of dealing with<a href="http://www.BerzinArchives.com/media/audio/en/hi/advice_tengyur_translation_project_32bit/advice_tengyur_translation_project-32bit.mp3" title="Advice for the Tengyur Translation Project on the Model of Berzin Archives">...</a> <br /><br /><a href="http://www.BerzinArchives.com/media/audio/en/hi/advice_tengyur_translation_project_32bit/advice_tengyur_translation_project-32bit.mp3" style="font-size:smaller" title="Advice for the Tengyur Translation Project on the Model of Berzin Archives">http://www.BerzinArchives.com/media/audio/en/hi/advice_tengyur_translation_project_32bit/advice_tengyur_translation_project-32bit.mp3</a>Sun, 08 May 2011 20:47:29 +0100
